What a week! That first week back at school was the hardest EVER. I couldn't get out my bed in the morning, wanted to fall asleep the minute I came in and lacked enthusiasm.
Now the weekend is almost over, I have had two long lies and will be hitting the sack the minute Sherlock has finished so I should get my motivation back by 8am tomorrow. We have a snow forecast in place and I hope I wake up to a world that is white as it would seriously raise my spirits.
On the crafting front, I have a , ahem, large amount of odd balls and end of project balls languishing in my loft and wanted to use them up. I have a patchwork blanket on the go but it is in 4ply and is a long term project. I plan on going back to my knitting group on a Tuesday and Thursday and need something mindless so I can listen to the chatter as I work so this weekend, I have cast on a sediment scraps blanket by The knitty professors.
I already had a bag full of scraps at the side of the computer and used those to start on it.
Using size 8mm needles and 4 strands of DK weight wool held together, it is zooming along. Just as well as I went into the loft and liberated this little lot.
As you can see, I am addicted to kntting it as it is currently this length and bunched up on my needles.
And so, here begins a game of patience as I await the arrival of some new, much longer size 8mm needles from Addicted 2 knitting.
Happy Days
It is. It is knitting up really fast and weighs a ton. Just the thing for winter days when Geoff refuses to put the heating on during daylight hours.
